This particular collection is a creation of motion and energy through using primarily one medium: pantyhose. I have reinvented the nylon and integrated it into a new realm of life, no longer owned by it’s wearer. It is able to be independent and move outside the box. I enjoy partnering up with the nylon because together we can recreate life’s tensions, textures, movements, struggles, and harmonies.

What does it mean? For me, abstract art is cryptic yet universal. It does not require an explanation of the artist’s interpretation in order for viewers to personally interpret the piece according to their lives. Hence, this collection, Pantyings, is whatever you need it to be at each moment you view it.
ART SHOW THIS WEEKEND!!
Come check out my pantyings art as well as recent prints and magnets of the awesome baobab trees of Madagascar!  Great prices at this show as I would like to sell out as I'm pending a move in a few months.

ART UPDATE


Oakland City Hall Show Oct 2013-Jan 2014
Joint show with Karen Balos (plexusartgroup.com/karenbalos.html)
SPEAK BEAUTY TO POWER
In many corners of the world, women and sometimes men have used textile art forms to create beauty and at the same time voice social and political protest - speak beauty to power.  The tactile medium provides the opportunity to evoke multiple layers of emotion and communicate contradictory feelings, mirroring the complexity of our human experience.
